[quote=Anonymous]I have a nearly 2 year old and a nearly 6 year old and I am pretty sure the 2 year old understands "no, you cannot play with that right now" even if she can't put herself in her brother's shoes. You can facilitate sharing in age appropriate ways... For what it's worth, they get along fabulously but I do have to occasionally step in when it comes to sharing. They are far more collaborative than they are competitive, though. Yesterday, my almost 6 year old met a new friend at the playground, and they hit it off immediately taking turns on the slide and play structure ("you go that way, and I'll go this way, and we'll meet at the top of the slide; then you go first and I go after" was literally the type of stuff they were saying to each other). We don't give kids enough credit. However, when it comes to individual toys, we just don't take those to the playground any more except for balls which can be "shared."[/quote]
